For people who decided to stop swimming

One list.
Ordered by you.

One ordered list of everything you need to do. Higher means more important. That's the whole model.

How it works

The single ordered list.

Every task you have lives in one ordered list. The position is the priority — drag to reorder, top is most important, bottom is least. There's no priority field, no urgency flag, no inbox-zero theatre. The order is the priority.

Plan shows everything. Doshows just what's actionable right now — current time block, contexts you're in, tasks past their start date. You move between them with a tap.

If you work with a team, others can assign you tasks — they land in your Inbox, not your list. You drag them into the position you choose, or you dismiss them. Nobody else dictates the order of your list.

Who this is for

Founders and MDs of small service firms.

You've tried Asana, Monday, HubSpot, ClickUp, Notion, Trello. You bounced off all of them — they were built for product teams and you spent more time configuring than working. You've also tried plain notebooks and bullet-journal systems. They work until they don't.

The One List is built for you. It assumes you're capable, busy, and tired of tooling that requires onboarding. Open it; the order is the priority; that's the whole thing. But it's the whole thing for your entire team.

What this isn't

Opinionated about a few things.

It isn't an inbox-zero tool. Your tasks accumulate; you order them; you do them in order.

It isn't a project management platform. There are no boards, no swimlanes, no sprints. There's a list.

It isn't a notes app. It's a list of decisions about what to do next. You want to add notes? Drop notes, screenshots, attachments into the task.

It isn't free. Founders' beta is, but the product will cost money. We will charge a fair price, but deliver calm and focus. We won't extract your data or train AI to make our money.
